Fault-tolerant control design to enhance damping of inter-area oscillations in power grids

Fault-tolerant control design to enhance damping of inter-area oscillations in power grids

In this paper, passive and active approaches for the design of fault-tolerant controllers (FTCs) are presented. The FTCs are used to improve the damping of inter-area oscillations in a power grid. The effectiveness of using a combination of local and remote (wide area) feedback signals is first demonstrated. The challenge is then to guarantee a minimum level of dynamic performance following a l...

Design of Wide-area Damping Control Systems for Power System Low-frequency Inter-area Oscillations

Design Supplementary Controller Based on Stabilizing Effect of Delay for Damping Inter Area Oscillations in a Power System

The delay associated with signal transmission through the wide-area measurement system reduces the functionality of the power oscillation damping control system. One of the important issues is the poor operation of the supplementary controller against delay existence, which limits the efficiency of damping of ancillary equipment, such as SVCs in a power system. This paper as a solution proposes...

Nonlinear Control of UPFC in Power System for Damping Inter Area Oscillations

This paper introduces a new nonlinear control of flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) controllers for the purpose of damping interarea oscillations in power systems. FACTS controllers consist of series, shunt, or a combination of series-shunt devices which are interfaced with the bulk power system through injection buses. Controlling the angle of these buses can effectively damp low frequen...

PSS design for damping of inter-area power oscillations by coherency-based equivalent model

In Japan, low-frequency oscillations have been observed on trunk transmission systems, and have been the subject for studies in fields of operation, control, and devices by many power system utilities. Power system stabilizers (PSS) are very effective controllers in enhancing the damping of low-frequency oscillations, since the controllers can increase damping torque for inter area modes by int...
